3:03 pm
know we're getting reports that the norwegian produce against those cold emergency crisis meeting with his government to take place later this evening we're also hearing that. the station to various points around the city center of the pocket the airport where you are what is the mood. well these are clean more point you've never experienced anything like this the first time in any sort of chair in fact rather ever been it has ever happened in this country right now we're hearing is that the assistance the help artists of the global jihad how explain responsibility for this attack and its get reaction always presence in afghanistan so it's something that the country i don't think it's really aware of or just isn't how the sort of history. experiencing and it's something that people
3:04 pm
at least here around me don't really seem to be acting today because they don't know about it it's not it's a creationist distribute it here for it but then it's also it's not something that you will. be concerned about here it's just. your thank you for a present today with what you know the reporting live from also for us for but earlier i spoke to. her in chief of an independent news magazine based in oslo his mother a lot of fight was near the very sight of that explosion here's how he described what she saw what she told him. all of the song there was this big blast and people were screaming running around scared it was smoke it was just like. what we have seen for. cities around the world which has been attacked earlier we have. peaceful nation. even though we
3:05 pm
already had two or. so people are rather surprised shocked. those people mostly on twitter he. said been. trying to not jump to conclusions too early i have to say though that leaders breaking is essentially the police officer he was drawn to this can and has been surely give. the kids politicians he is actually tall and blonde and that he has according to newspaper is a norwegian. and so this is this is rather my be more complicated. to tell or i will since we had
3:06 pm
that chat just last hour obviously details coming through thick and fast since that report. we had unconfirmed reports saying that the terror group helpers of global jihad claimed responsibility in response and always involvement in afghanistan we're also hearing that oslo police say they suspect the man arrested in that shooting at the youth we're hearing there could be up to twenty five to thirty bodies reported by witnesses is somehow connected with what happened in the oslo bombing just an hour or two before. all right now mark colvin is a history lecturer from oxford university told me but always involvement of nato as military campaign could be a reason behind the attack. the most likely explanation is that norway's involvement as a nato member in the various armed actions i'm made to from libya to afghanistan will have the basis for some lashing out whether that by russia comes from a libyan group or more generally from an islamic group which is close to the region
3:07 pm
returned over and. over to get his team and i say we should remember that back in oklahoma city imagine ninety five when it was a huge government which had to rest there with every level of pollution which it must be the workers i'm a terrorist and it turned out to work a very large and permanent and what a shame and. so with the proviso that we that we should don't rule out now because abilities are most likely explanation is obviously there are always political number one and you were an attack on it and i think really for two is one of those involvements and the other is perhaps if there is a stretch it could on the whole hurt an islamic group they might signal ways or so help them. think about a place all around them. was targets of terrorist attacks over the years and even make quite dramatic attack on a prime minister's office. home. of members of his going to court and you couldn't
3:08 pm
necessarily have had such an effect in one little carousel perhaps in a council religious bigotry still for a long time and like any no in order to norwegians in violence with the mouse and snarls spray from around the country. if you just joined us let me bring up to date on the headline facts that we know today norway's been shaken by double terror attacks earlier on the sebring first the center of all slow hit by a huge bomb the blast damaged parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office or at least seven were killed though the pm himself was not. then a gunman went on a shooting spree in a youth camp by witness reports the latest ones we have through claim up to thirty people may have been killed there we hear there were seven hundred young people there between the ages of fourteen and seventeen even some unconfirmed reports that they were swimming in the sea to try and get away from a gunman again unconfirmed reports say it was wearing a police uniform police say they suspect the man that was involved there in the
3:09 pm
shooting could be linked to the bombing in the capital and the state secretary christian edmonson said the situation is the worst his country has ever seen comments from the prime minister. said is safe he said it's a very serious situation and he's called an emergency government crisis meeting tonight polonia imports suggest a car bomb with a blast so powerful that it blew out windows over a one kilometer radius was responsible for the awful amount of damage we've seen in the center of oslo the thick smoke was seen rising from the nirvana all ministry building after it too caught fire and police evacuated people from the city center also oslo's central railway station just to recap again unconfirmed reports say the terror group the helpers of the global jihad has claimed responsibility in the last in response to norway's involvement in afghanistan. all right let's get more thoughts about it often vents unfolding in front of our eyes in oslo for peace the
3:10 pm
foreign news editor for the danish magazine political and most of all stop thanks for being on the program more than europe's for some time wasn't being criticized for lax immigration policy some even said it was getting safe haven to terrorists would you agree that this might have a bearing on the attacks we've seen in norway today. well i don't think so. very strict immigration policy. and. many more than. you i don't think. immigration policy. nevertheless all it takes i guess is a couple of extremists if this is to be true and as i say the global jihad terror group has claimed responsibility for this we don't actually know whether they are they may just be trying to get some publicity off the back of it i mean looking
3:11 pm
back in december last year twenty six people were arrested across europe when they suspected of terrorist activities and with links to chechens you have this was it clear then that all slow is in as much danger as moscow or london madrid or any other major capital. well the swedish international terror expert on this run story. but. the threat image from denmark and norway is very very similar because both countries involved in that and then they are. in norway as well this and then one. thing that's all yours soon. the problem is prophet mohammed has been courting and uproar among my friends. so. in his view it could what we have seen
3:12 pm
today chris will have happened in denmark you know it happened in norway danish police looking at it much the same way in. critical points in the market has been under increased surveillance. including. your house. where you learned first and where the. tombs of the property was post. printed and indeed a big republic started a at a tad like newspaper in norway. but in fact in the building that was born today very close to it yes it does not appear to be talking. about the congress the affairs of the world. that result of them actually and the attack it does not appear in the newspaper was the positive thing. i mean tonight
3:13 pm
as we see this unfold in sydney the only way here you know taking a position was in central oslo to try to ensure safety you know denmark and norway you're almost neighbors you're so close to both of you to part of nato is there a sense of unease it does not tonight. yes definitely as we have seen. denmark being the target. to commit terror attacks many of the. killers. many of them psychotic and. the media house. in the summer. five young men were arrested. too for this. media house with some traps and plants and kill as many journalists and other people working theirs as possible. david headley. who was arrested in chicago had also plans to. kill as many people here in this
3:14 pm
building. and last year also with terrorist. he blew himself up. trying to come in. in that building again so also something else interesting that's come out tonight although i'm saying what i'm saying about the health of the global jihad you cannot have an idea of what an attack at night look like but you know wearing from eye witnesses that saw what went on in this use car that the government. appeared to be of nordic appearance with blond hair the guy that was dressed as a policeman shooting a very soft targets these teenage is not part of the sort of person you necessarily first of all equate with so they're working for help for the global jihad. no i think it's far too early to. any conclusions about who was behind this
3:15 pm
but could have been a. convert. if it is. an islamic group behind this it could be right. i think. the course kids really know very very little about what happened and who were behind it yeah well so the details are coming through that group has claimed responsibility the police are saying tonight that they potentially linking the two attacks now just one last thought you know as we're thinking of the friends and family of the people who have perished and the people that are injured are thought very much of them tonight one last quick thought from you will these attacks change the face of northern europe as as a place of safety traditionally. you
3:16 pm
. know. so far. when or when you were going to maybe. not. ok thanks ever so much being on the program for a new senator from the political magazine in denmark much appreciated more for now about these very unfortunate events let's talk to radio host and author stephen lend-lease joining us on the line from chicago mr lemon either thanks a boeing are these awful events unfolding know you're watching your side of the pond as well and we've already heard unconfirmed claims by that group called themselves the helpers of the global jihad that this attack is a direct response to the presence of norwegian forces in afghanistan do you think that sounds like a realistic claim
3:17 pm
a realistic theory kerry written no numerous appearance numerous individuals falsely charged numerous official stories changed later evidence kerry give you some examples or that america and europe both world trade center on the syrian america we know about not all of the evidence is overwhelming you know i always were terrified so of was a thought was most people forget about the eight hundred ninety three warning. number of people were convicted i wrote about what she do rama so-called blind sheik he was completely innocent he got life in prison he was a former cia asset paper arguments about america he oklahoma city well i mean eight hundred ninety five is cheering nichols territory make a truck bomb in front of the federal building in oklahoma city it was later proved
3:18 pm
that the truck bomb heroically minor again which most of the damage came from internally rigged explosives ok i mean you know that could spur. the theories about nine eleven before i take everything you say this so i mean what are you saying about what's happened here tonight i mean he does a still very very sketchy enough you know this this is happening is people are still under the under the ruins there tonight so what do you think is harman well of course the that is happening today we have no way of knowing it could be decent could be weeks before you know anything but my advice to you is is all of us east suspicious and special you're burning major it's air i'm sure your viewers remember the the underground well i mean i don't know madrid train bombing i believe the year before of the year after. two thousand. were
3:19 pm
on the latest stories conflicted with them presented different evidence and it looked like both of those of them to a false lawyer x. so again we don't know we're here. to be very suspicious and they were his loose scare here a clue let's see how fast the information comes out list see if people in charge well see exactly what is said and if to march official information is reported to therapists those are red flags because any they're right this could take weeks maybe months to really find out where are you finished a day or two or a week we get flooded with information in names names those those are red flags is something is very very raw statement you know i take it absolutely everything you say treat with caution absolutely understand that let's try and focus on what some of the more mainstream theories may be about what could have happened here tonight
3:20 pm
i mean the claim also by this group mentions insults of the prophet muhammad which were reprinted in the norwegian tabloid last year could that have anything to do with it you think. is possible or i remember very well and it showed it in an article or. roach but that's an all story why would somebody resurrect. a whole recent one because a lot of grouch the bear i guess. well there are lots of reasons people were used to it here but i would suggest there are lots bigger reasons in the tabloid newspaper and the newspaper wasn't struck. and that's how close the wormy was to it but they struck government buildings no it didn't harm the prime minister there were some people killed and me i'm sure other people were injured and the fact that norway was part of the libya called nato coalition against libya there may have been a paper recently remember no way pull it out of the coalition why wasn't denmark
3:21 pm
attacks and you thought the prime minister rez most and is the nato secretary general just just just regime but was no wars if there was a reset. no no way no way is that peaceful country why go after them for one reason maybe to incite fear to meet people believe that even peaceful countries who are attacked by east terrorists will get to terrorists really do this or was it a forceful way look at stake here let's recall back stephen to the end the last year police in belgium the netherlands and germany banned arrested twenty six suspected terrorist with links to chat should militants and i think that was this a big warning i guess that terrorists have spread deep into europe and to the north . i remember those incidents a little i remember of those books of placement in the u.k.
3:22 pm
and i especially here in the u.k. and in bourke later in summation came out conflicted with the original stories i wrote about them but is there a good while since or done it and i don't remember the specific details but what i do remember were those to leave in evidence to prove the early records before also which again has a very suspicious is. what i look at it say even tonight people regarding northern europe nor in particular the less safe place than it was traditionally considered to be our. police certainly are all the more reason to continue the war in afghanistan the new war is that needle countries are a poor peon against him and against somalia of course the libya operation going on is a good reason to say well these muslim terrorists that they'll go after anybody they'll
3:23 pm
do it in their own countries will do whatever america they'll do it across europe if we're if we don't target these people and get rid of them we'll keep inciting these incidents and killing innocent people and the trouble to scare them and people in countries especially in america believe this but in fact i know for a fact which stories are written the innocent people tried to america written above dozens of them falsely charged all of them muslims mostly me and occasionally you woman. written about it least five dozen of them i have yet to find a single goateed person both any crime but they're all in christian some of them serving ways terms the public is traumatized in the imperial wars the war thesis can go it's it's of course topically i.q. would overturn ok syria lebanon i know you've always got your very particular views
3:24 pm
about things sometimes a little off people very much worth listening to as well stephen lemon thank you for joining us very much tonight from chicago. now norway's been shaken by a double terror attack that is our top story tonight first the center of oslo hit by a huge pile on the blast damaged parliamentary buildings including the prime minister's office or at least seven people were killed earlier on the prime minister himself we hear was not harmed then a gunman went on a shooting spree at a youth camp eyewitnesses report claims that thirty youngsters maybe because we're there were seven hundred between the ages of fourteen and seventeen may have been killed police say the suspect the man arrested for the shooting is linked to the bombing in the capital there making that connection tonight in a way to the secretary of state christian aronson said that this quote is situation is the worst his country has ever seen and promised to. safe as i reported just now
3:25 pm
but he's called an emergency government crisis meeting tonight alone reports suggest a car bomb with a blast so powerful that windows over a kilometer radius was to blame for what happened here thick smoke earlier was seen rising from a nearby all ministry building after it to court fire police evacuated both the city center and oslo central railway station the army has been posted around the city center tonight to try and keep things safe as they possibly can unconfirmed reports say the terror group the helpers of the global jihad is claimed responsibility they say it's in response to norway's involvement in afghanistan. tied in a separate attack a government reportedly dressed as a policeman opened fire at a youth rally just outside osmo he'd been arrested but there i witness reports tonight claim that he may have killed up to thirty anti terror police have reportedly been sent to the camp was some seven hundred teenagers were gathered.
